Description
-----------
The first step in analyzing an mass spectrometry assay is to match the harvested spectra against a target database using database search engines such as Sequest and Mascot, a process that renders list of peptide-spectrum matches. However, it is not trivial to assess the accuracy of these identifications.

Percolator uses a semi-supervised machine learning to discriminate correct from incorrect peptide-spectrum matches, and calculates accurate statistics such as q-value (FDR) and posterior error probabilities. 

This package contains percolator and includes its converter msgf2pin to be able to convert mzIdentML data from MSGF+ to percolator input data. It further contains a metafile-creator to be able to combine fractionated search results into batches of specific amount of fractions to create percolator input data of.
